Quote from J.D. in My Hard Labor

Dr. Cox: Carla, are you done yet?
Carla: Not yet.
J.D.: [v.o.] As I looked around the room, I thought about the things parents do for their kids. Like going to extraordinary lengths to ensure their child never feared them.
Dr. Cox: Okay, let's keep looking.
Dr. Kelso: [v.o.] Helping them mend their broken heart.
Dr. Kelso: Well, why can't you still be with Gary? I always liked him. What do you mean he stole your fillings?
J.D.: [v.o.] Or staying up late, to make sure there's one less distraction around.
Turk: Game, and that's game, and that's how we do! And that is how we do! That's right.
J.D.: [v.o.] And I realized parenting is about sacrifice. And I had to go in there and be there for my child. Even if that meant taking some well-deserved abuse.
Kim: Get out of here, you jerk.
J.D.: No.

Quote from Dr. Cox

J.D.: The kid's not even born yet, and I'm already screwing up his life. I just wanted him to be really happy, and normal, you know?
Dr. Cox: Okay, first of all, Newbie, we're talking about your kid. So the whole normal part was never gonna happen. And you didn't mess up his life.
J.D.: Ah, come on, statistics show that kids whose parents stay together-
Dr. Cox: "Statistics show"? Who- Who cares, what statistics show? I mean, look at medicine. 80% of people with pancreatic cancer die within five years. 95% of appendectomies occur with zero complications. But we both know pancreatic cancer patients that lived, and appendix patients that, unfortunately, passed. Statistics mean nothing to the individual. You're either gonna be a good parent to that kid, or you're not. I mean, hell, your parents were divorced, and you somehow managed to become a relatively successful doctor. And I'm sure there's someone somewhere who would be proud to call you their son.
J.D.: Would you be proud to call me your son?
Dr. Cox: This conversation's over.

Colin Hay: [sings] I come from a land down under
J.D.: [v.o.] So that's what that song's about.
Colin Hay: Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear? Can't you hear the thunder?
[reality:]
J.D.: [v.o.] I wondered where he was hiding.
